A center-left country?

20 Nov 2008 03:43 pm

Apparently not.

The Inn Between's waitress is busy delivering the lunch special of breaded chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans to a stream of customers who work at different places but all seem to know one another.

The banter is raucous and sustained, and when the conversation turns to a proposed federal bailout for U.S. automakers, there is little support for the idea.

"I don't think they should bail them out because ... obviously something's not right in the way they're running their business, and why should the American people have to bail them out if they can't figure out how to do it right?" September Quinn, the busy waitress, said after the lunch rush at the Inn Between.

no support for automaker bailout = america is not center left?

please stop verbally abusing the left, you're abusing your credibility simultaneously. fyi, trying to reinforce the "center-right" narrative will not enact your desired policies.

also, since when did the left own corporate bailouts?

I wouldn't call this left, center, or right.

It's total lack of confidence in the big 3.
